8:30

وَإِذْ يَمْكُرُ بِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِيُثْبِتُوكَ أَوْ يَقْتُلُوكَ أَوْ يُخْرِجُوكَ وَيَمْكُرُونَ وَيَمْكُرُ ٱللَّهُ وَٱللَّهُ خَيْرُ ٱلْمَٰكِرِينَ

13:39

يَمْحُوا۟ ٱللَّهُ مَا يَشَآءُ وَيُثْبِتُ وَعِندَهُۥٓ أُمُّ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal comparison across all 18 family occurrences supports firm placement as the shared core. Form I commands continued firmness; the participle and event noun profile a stable state; Form II causes feet, people, or hearts to remain steady; its action noun profiles increased firmness; Form IV fixes a person or a written matter in place. The exact reflexive nuance at 2:265 remains reviewable. No protected or pre-run meaning was edited, and no exact segment set forces a lexical collision.
